Annie, A Small Cloth Doll

This little cloth doll, Annie, was recently made for a client, because she had seen one other that I did that I called Annie. Of course, they are not exactly the same. This one is dressed entirely in very old fabrics dating back to the 1800's. Even her body is made from very old muslin or even plain homespun. I am not sure. I'm just sharing her here because I think she is darling. She does seem to be either a little angry or puzzled, but I rather like that in her. Annie is tiny. She is 9 inches tall and has a 3 inch waist. She stands very nicely, if leaned against something. She is not a sitting doll. And there you have it!

Prims Magazine, October, 2010

I am proud to say I am the only doll maker invited to be in The Country Living Guild of Artisans.

This honor came as a great surprise, for I had no idea that such a Guild even existed. See Country Living Magazine, February, 2009.

My Slip-INs

Just a note to say that my slip-ins only stand about three to six inches tall. They look very large in the article. These are what they referred to as Paper Dolls in the article Passion for Paper Dolls.
